When ya gotta stay in the county...Fish Lake is great!!

Due to Covid-19, we have to stay within our county. Came up here on Saturday morning. The 24 sites were mostly occupied, but did find a few open. No cell or wifi, so 3 days & 2 nights of glorious peace. On Sunday, most campers left, making this place even quieter. Great trail around the lake. Then drove to nearby Blue Lake, and walked around it. (No camping @ Blue Lake). Pit toilets were clean!! Mosquitoes can be a bit thick...don’t forget the OFF! A wonderful, ‘local’ spot.
